Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitte Iru Episode 16

XO I put Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitte Iru Episode 16 on hold this week to blog Black Rock Shooter OVA. Looking back that was probably a disappointing decision. But when 4 things come out on the same day that I have interest in blogging choices have to be made. Although I probably should be more loyal to shows that I already know and love…

But enough of that for now. We have a week full of revealing secrets!!!! Or at least that is what we were promised. Let’s see if this week’s episode delivers what it promised last week or if things shall be dragged out even longer.

Photobucket

Okay maybe beware of cute flashbacks.

There is no naked Takashiro this week so there shall be no warning.



Photobucket

No. You are not important. GO AWAY!

Short episode summary: Takashiro and Yuki are all like we are going to get down to the truth people! But two random strangers walk in and introduce themselves to Yuki. Minor characters are boring but love Yuki. Takashiro is like I need to tell him the truth now so off they go on a walk. Takashiro then slowly explains that he is weak from preparing for the ceremony when really he is lying to Yuki again. But here comes the truth. Takashiro is like 68974 years old and he is never reincarnated. He has a Duras living in him so he can be healed and not die. His reasoning is that someone needs to be aware of the Duras while everyone is growing up and so he can guide them to being Guardians again. Also he is the one who causes everyone to be reincarnated each and every time. Yuki is like POOR TAKASHIRO he has to suffer alone.

Photobucket

Great now Yuki is lying.

After a bit of a cry Takashiro takes Yuki and child Sodom to some magic rock in the woods. It is the source of their power and has all the names of fallen Zweilts on it. See when Duras kills a Guardian that Guardian can never be reincarnated. Then Takashiro is like oh Reiga is a half Duras/half human and everyone in the family treated him like crap so that is why he hates humans. That every single enemy ever has been summoned by him and he r the evil. However Reiga was reborn as Kanata and was unaware of his horrible past while growing up with Yuki. Yuki might have been the reason that Reiga was dormant for so long, that Yuki was giving him hope for humanity. Yuki thinks back to memories with younger Kanata and is happy that Kanata was really his friend. But he still wants to know what happened that horrible day when Reiga turned on everyone. Elsewhere Kanata promises his one remaining minion he will end this all. THE END!

Photobucket

Also I like the new opening although Yuki better not die....

So….I guess I am slightly happy. We did get SOME answers this week so it was not a total loss. See Black Rock Shooter? Answers can be a good thing. Of course next week looks like we are in for more back story. So this week could have done better in regards to the pacing. Less time with the new characters that I don’t care about and more time with the actual secrets.

Photobucket

Behold the nakedness!

XO The biggest RARW of course is that Yuki still has not gotten any of his sad back story yet. Which is what I thought Takashiro was going to tell Yuki. The whole Yuki needs to know about his past can only take place if Yuki is specifically about HIS past. Not the past in general. So bleh. This episode probably could have skimmed down to tell Yuki about his time as a girl. But until I view next week I won’t know if that is possible. Next week could be FULL of more back story that would have run over a 22 minute episode constraint.

Photobucket

I still love you even if you are a giant liar and aren't my brother.

Takashiro is not Yuki’s real brother. Not sure how I feel about that. I sorta figured that and it makes sense that Takashiro had to lie about that aspect. The whole “I am your leader in the war against sparkly demons” probably would have not gone over well. So that lie needed to explained but it wasn’t a shocker since I thought that was the case.

Up next was Takashiro being like a million years old. Again this really isn’t about Yuki but something that needed to be said. It also shows what kind of person Takashiro is. A crazy person. But apparently crazy= devoted in Japanese land so whatever. I guess I can see that if the sparkle demons would going to continuously attack Earth they would need to have someone who was ready to train the reincarnated troops. But him acting like the martyr got on my nerves. Poor Takashiro, he has to live forever and not suffer the effects of dying and having to remember his past.

Photobucket

I hate Duras but here, one is living in my body!!!!

am super glad that the purple worms in his ARM got explained. I didn’t think the answer was going to be that a Duras was living in his body given the fact he became immortal so he could kill the evil Duras. But he is a giant hypocrite. I mean he has to do really hard things….But yeah, glad that was taken care of.

Photobucket

I think calling someone a monster might make them mad. Just saying.

Another fun fact revealed to us is that Reiga is a half human, half Duras person thing. Another thing I didn’t see coming but I guess needed to be explained. He needed a reason to explain his intense hatred of humans so this is the perfect explanation. He obviously forced his parents to have sex so he would be born. Or that the people back in that time were douchebags and created a monster that destroyed them. Note to people out there: when you treat someone like a crazy psychopath they will probably grow up to be a crazy psychopath. So be kind to those who you fear as they will probably rip your face off as soon as possible.

Photobucket

Takashiro has lots of magical powers.

Takashiro also mentions that he forces everyone to be reincarnated. I am not sure how he does that but I am sure that doesn’t matter. I don’t know why Takashiro feels guilty about doing so. Maybe when this first started everyone agreed to be reincarnated in return for Takashiro being the one who has to suffer alone until they are old enough. However I am sure the forced reincarnations has something to do with girl Yuki deciding to be reborn a boy. Trying to stop the cycle or what not.

Photobucket

There is still hope for me Yuki! Don't give up!

But I guess what I liked the most about Takashiro’s whole telling the truth bit is that Kanata was actually Kanata for a while and he wasn’t being a lying douchebag to Yuki since minute one. I really think that Kanata needed a better voice actor as a young teenage boy should not sound like a 3 year old girl but other than that I am happy for Yuki. Of course in his little heart I am sure he will blame himself for not being enough to convince Kanata that humans were worthwhile but hey, that is expected of Yuki. I am just happy that there is good in Kanata and that will probably be his saving grace in the end.

Photobucket

I like this random rock in the middle of nowhere. It amuses me.

I am a little XO that certain people can’t be reincarnated. It just seems obvious in this line of work to be killed by the Duras. But I was wondering why there weren’t more Guardians floating around so that explains that. The cast is already big enough without everyone who ever was a Guardian to be reincarnated. Plus it was a chance to make Yuki all sad.

Photobucket

No one cares who we are. :(

The two random people at the beginning of the episode were boring and I have no idea what is going on with them. We didn’t get to see the new Guardians this episode and we are introduced to more people? Yeah we could have learned more about other important issues and left these nobodies in the dark.

Photobucket

POOF! No more problems. it is so magical.

Our other Guardians were only shown briefly because they are worried for Yuki. But really maybe they should have manned up and told Yuki the truth if they really loved him. And my special Hotsuma is like fine everyone we won’t have any problems and Yuki will be okay. Great plan.

Next week looks like we are in for more secrets and a better explanation on why Takashiro and Reiga hate each other. Looks like it involves a girl. That girl doesn’t look like Yuki as she has darker hair but who knows, maybe it is girl Yuki version one. In any event XO. How dare there be a straight pairing in this show. But I hope this moves along faster so we can get back to the action. And Luka who is stuck in a tree.

Black Rock Shooter OVA

Well then…..

Photobucket

Come with me if you want to live!

Before I say anything about the Black Rock Shooter OVA I want to make it clear I had no what it was before the hype came out. Like the Summer schedule was announced and everyone was like WOOHOO Black Rock Shooter is here so happy blah blah. It did make me pretty interested in the nendoroid that is coming of the Black Rock Shooter girl but other than that I knew nothing. I wasn’t waiting on pins and needles for this show like some people. Really I had no expectations in regards to this OVA and I didn’t even know it was coming out until I checked my preferred anime site and saw it was on there.

That being said….I think I am disappointed.


This summary is going to go in chronological order. But for those who are unaware during the natural flow of events (the slice of life moments) are scenes from other world. These too go in order so it’s like you see the start of the slice of life moments and the start of the fight from the same time with the actual episode ending at the middle of the slice of life and at the end of the fighting. Yay for spoilers.

OVA summary: Black Rock Shooter is fighting some girl that we don’t know in the other world. She has horns and long hair. There is a lot of fighting going on in this castle but no dialogue. This random girl gets the better of Black Rock Shooter, stabs her, and the castle seems to fall on Black Rock Shooter.

Photobucket

Wake up in the morning feelin' like Black Rock Shooter.

Mato wakes herself up early for her first day of junior high. She is super excited and starts her day off going to her favorite spot in the neighborhood (a tall spot overlooking the city) and then running to school. She is interested in a rich girl who is driven to class. After some random new school stuff Mato and the rich girl Yomi become friends. There is some talk about what Yomi’s name means and how Yomi is so tall. Yomi is new to the neighborhood as her family moves around a lot but Mato is so happy that they are close. The girls then start going/leaving school together. Mato joins the basketball team and Yomi decides to join the volleyball team (although she might have only done this to be in the same building as Mato). One day after school Mato takes Yomi to her special spot overlooking the city and gives her a cell phone charm. Then an entire year passes and Mato and Yomi are seen doing all the fun random stuff that happens in a Japanese school kids’ life.

Photobucket

Really feeling bad for Mato. :(

Then the second year starts and Yomi is not in the same class as Mato. However Yuu, the basketball club manager, is in Mato’s class. Mato wants them both to be friends but over time Yomi is super jealous of Yuu. One day during break Yomi watches Mato and Yuu during break and some black stuff engulfs her. That day Yomi doesn’t walk home with Mato and doesn’t answer her text messages. Mato starts to worry and soon the police are involved as Yomi has disappeared. She tells the cops all she knows but no one can find her. The entire school talks about this drama and Yuu is all like it will be okay, let’s play basketball! Time goes on and Mato becomes more and more depressed. One night she gets a blank email from Yomi. Mato runs out of the house and to their special spot overlooking the city. There she finds the cellphone charm she gave Yomi. It starts to glow and POOF Mato is taken somewhere else. Black Rock Shooter appears and asks is Mato wants to save Yomi. Mato answers all she wants is to be together with her again and Black Rock Shooter merges with Mato.

Photobucket

I won't let you take her!!!

Now we are in the other world. Black Rock Shooter is walking in a destroyed looking world. But her gun looks cool so who cares what is going on right? There is some running and another old looking building. Somewhere in another isolated black another version of Yuu is looking out at the scenery looking emo. Black Rock Shooter makes it to other Yomi. She reaches out for Other Yomi’s hand but Other Yomi sends out her floating skulls to attack Mato. Then there is some more Other Yuu looking emo like and moving around in her hard to move outfit. Black Rock Shooter makes her eye glow and the fight is on. She holds her own against Other Yomi and the floating skulls of doom. Other Yomi also makes some chains to trap and attack Black Rock Shooter. Black Rock Shooter is temporarily chained but escaped and destroys Other Yomi’s weapon. Black Rock Shooter then again extends her hand to Other Yomi rejects her. Other Yomi almost falls from a ledge but Black Rock Shooter hugs her close instead. This makes Other Yomi mad and suddenly Other Yomi falls into black pieces while Black Rock Shooter is still holding Yomi. Black Rock Shooter runs towards the light holding Yomi and we are out of the other world.

Photobucket

Wait it's not over!?

After the credits things are back to normal. Yomi and Mato are happily walking home from school but what is this? Now Yuu feels left out and emo? Mato calls out to Yuu to join them but Yuu isn’t her usual fun and happy self. THE END!

Okay then. This is going to be written by someone who had no idea what this show was about beforehand. Because while there are some people out there who know exactly the show/movie is going to be about there are going to be others who go into situations blind to what is going on or what to expect. That is me on most animes anyway. People are all like woohoo this manga is getting turn anime and I am like oh a brand new show! So yeah. I have no idea what this show was about before going into and I am not going to look up what it was supposed to be about until after I am done blogging this.

Photobucket

Cellphone charms are magical!

So….what was going on? Like I was slightly confused on what with the slice of life stuff and the action/fighting scenes but I figured at the end of the OVA all would be explained. So I was patient and waited. No answers came. So if you are like me and watched this no prior knowledge to what this show was all about you are probably confused too.

Photobucket

WHO ARE YOU?!?!?!

I didn’t even realize there were three Others until I started to type the summary and I went back through the scenes. But yep, at the beginning of the OVA there is a different girl fighting Black Rock Shooter. So who is she? What is her deal? And why does it look like Black Rock Shooter died fighting her? Does Black Rock Shooter run around and save normal people who got taken over by an Other?

Yeah none of this got answered. Also we never see this first Other girl again so was that even necessary? Bleh.

Photobucket

Mato is sad too.

So this is my sad face. I thought all was going to be explained or at least halfway explained. But we are all supposed to just watch and not question. Yomi just happened to end up in that world. We don’t need any answers. We don’t know if Other Yomi is really Yomi’s dark self or really an inhabitant that took over her body once Yomi enter that dark place of MY FRIEND HATES ME. We don’t know where this other place is or how one gets there. But we do know that Black Rock Shooter is not Mato as Black Rock Shooter was fighting someone else in the first part of the OVA. We know one thing out of…the entire show. Which is disappointing. I didn’t expect every last thing to be explained but not to know what an Other is or how Yomi got chosen to be one would have been nice. I mean, people get sad about their friends not being as close all the time. They don’t all end up Others.

Photobucket

Why does Black Rock Shooter want to help Mako out? How did she know?!

So with that said…it was sorta disappointing. Almost like the show had no point. No real conclusion and nothing was explained/resolved. I guess since this show was so hyped up I was expecting more. But apparently this OVA isn’t here to explain anything. The viewer is supposed to fill into ALL of the blanks while the OVA gives you a basic outline of what is going on. Only there is a lot of blanks to be filled and way too much to fill in for my taste.

Photobucket

More of this please.

Putting all that aside once I got used to the pacing it was enjoyable. A few slice of life scenes, some fighting. More slice of life scenes, more fighting. Serious business scenes and a resolution to the fighting scenes. Granted it would have been better to get a resolution but what do I know?

Photobucket

But at least she came back.....

I do think that Yomi losing her mind over something so small is laughable. I was expecting something MAJOR to happen. But Mato didn’t even ignore Yomi or treat her poorly. She managed her time between both girls. She can’t help that they weren’t in the same class and she still made time for Yomi. So while I think that Yomi had a right to be slightly hurt I am not sure she has the right to lose her mind and summon an Other or what not. I thought there was going to be a blow or something….Just disappointed.

Photobucket

Pray that this makes sense.

I think that while most of the OVA was devoted to the slice of life stuff I really didn’t get to know about the girls. Just that Yomi really likes Mato and Mato likes basketball. Instead of the long waking up scene we could have seen more in that 30 second “and a year goes by scene”. But I do think what was shown was important and special. Like overlooking the city scene was done well. And I like how Mato was able to make close friends with Yuu. It is too unrealistic to only have 1 friend throughout your entire school life. It is much more realistic to have relationships change and grow and learn from those changes.

Photobucket

No, this is not the time for smiling.

I do think that Mato was the only person who really cared about Yomi so that is why Yomi liked her so much. Hello school mates your classmate is missing and you are gossiping about it?! And Yuu, you were already showing signs of jealously. “Oh let’s play basketball and your friend will be okay!”. But I thought Mato handling the disappearance of Yomi was done well.

Photobucket

Very choppy at times.

I thought at times the art was a bit iffy. As if they didn’t know how to properly execute action scenes. Not very great in regards to transiting from movement in the action scenes. But other than that I really liked the art.

Photobucket

Because when someone goes out of their way to include you you should have an emo attack and go to another world.

The ending was a bit X_X for me. We don’t get any answers to what just happened and now it’s going to happen again to Yuu. Like okay what was THE POINT?! Yes Mato saved her friend but apparently she didn’t learn how to keep this from happening again. She needed to learn why people got turned into Others or what not. But now jealous friends are still jealous. A way to milk another OVA? Maybe. But it left me feeling meh.

So yeah. Didn’t understand the hype, still don’t understand the hype, and I am sure there a lots of disappointed fans out there. But if you wanted to watch a little show that had a great mix of action and slice of life it was a success. The art was great and so was the representation of how females have relationships. But I am not sure if it should have been released as an OVA when there was so much that went unanswered. So I am just meh people. Meh.

Amagami SS episode 4

SIGH! Okay. Guess I put it off for long enough. So here it is folks. The last part of the Haruka arc. WOOHOO go Amagami SS!!!

Photobucket

I think Junichi is enthused enough for both of us.

Did that sound enthused enough? Really I am trying. Maybe once the story is set on a new girl this series will be more interesting for me. But I am not sure I am cut out for flip floppin relationships and only 4 episodes dedicated to said flip floppin relationships. I guess I will stick around for one more girl to see if things are any different. Just no more knee sex!!!

Onward to the end of Haruka. I mean……WOOHOO relationship time!



Photobucket

He needs energy for the long night ahead!!!

Episode Summary: Junichi is thinking back to sometime in the past when he was at a park and a girl talked to him. A girl…talking to Junichi? I am shocked. But in the here and now Junichi is waiting after school for Haruka but he is just looking pathetic. Miya and Rihoko want to go window shopping and decide to kidnap Junichi so he can be their slave boy. He puts up with it for a while but abandons them when he sees Haruka at a crane machine. He accidentally helps her win a plushie which is AWESOME in my book. They then go into the arcade and Haruka lies about her initials so they can be compatible on some game. Oh Haruka’s middle name is lovely which means she is ¼ Caucasian. Awesome. They end up going to the park (the one at the beginning of the episode) where Junichi reminds Haruka that this is where they first met. I’LL NEVER LET GO. But no really Haruka was there mourning the loss of her dog and Junichi was there mourning that fact he was dumped a year before. Haruka brought Junichi out of his dark place and Junichi also touched Haruka in a special way that day.

Photobucket

Mirror Junichi is shocked by this amazing turn of events.

Junichi senses that this would be an excellent time to ask Haruka to spend Christmas Eve with him. Only Haruka declines to meet Junichi in the park and he melts on the ground. But then she explains that her grandparents are coming to town and their family is having a get together and she is inviting him to that. Junichi does the happy dance. However Miya says something WEIRD (it is never explained what) and Junichi is late for the meeting on Christmas Eve. Haruka smiles and can’t be mad at Junichi, seeing how he practically ran a marathon to get there. But she does take Junichi to go swimming in a hotel pool to clean him off. Junichi looks at her boobies for a while and all is well. Haruka then takes Junichi upstairs because that is where the meeting place is taking place an hour ago. Only her grandparents aren’t in town and her parents decided not to come so they are going to a hotel room alone.

Photobucket

Junichi, miniJunichi, and Haruka all live happily ever after. THE END XO

Junichi and his miniJunichi are like WHAT IS GOING ON?! Haruka goes to take a bath and Junichi tries to not think perverted thoughts. Only Haruka comes out of the bath and is like WHY AREN’T YOU PUTTING THE MOVES ON ME?! Haruka thinks that Junichi doesn’t love her anymore and she is mad for not expressing herself to Junichi sooner. She says that Junichi didn’t confess enough and hasn’t shown her how much he REALLY loves her. Junichi apologizes for not peeking in on her why she bathed and they kiss, solidifying their relationship. TEN YEARS LATER Hibiki goes to visit the married couple of Junichi and Haruka. They are sickeningly cute and all is well because of that day at the hotel/park all those years ago. And everyone looks exactly the same. THE END!

There we have it folks. This is how you go from awkward stalking to knee sex to ten years of blissful marriage in 4 episodes. Truly a thing of miracles.

Despite the fact that I didn’t like Haruka and wanted her off my screen I feel as if this last episode was a bit rushed. And too much at times. So I am going out on a limb and say that 4 episodes aren’t really enough to fully show a progression in a relationship. I knew that before watching this show but now it has been cemented for me. 4 episodes is not enough time to be romantic, nervous, unsure, and cute and all the other things that come along with being a new couple.

Photobucket

OH this all makes sense now!!!!

If your middle name is Lovely you must be part Caucasian. Because it makes sense people. Because Japanese people aren’t randomly running around saying random English words. Never. No no, this must be something that only white people can think of. X_X Seriously was any of that even necessary? Of course not but it made it so Junichi and Haruka were compatible.

Photobucket

Look we have a connection!

I do think it was nice that there was a back story to Junichi liking Haruka. I like that it wasn’t some random “oh this girl is hot I must be with her even though I know nothing about her kinda thing.” My definitions need a little work but that is basically how I feel about that. Now only if that was incorporated from the beginning would I be happy. Now it is like OH we need a good reason why these two are destined to be together, quick give them a sad back story. Or cute. Whatever it was supposed to be. I do wish it was there from the start but I guess I should have happy it is there at all.

Photobucket

Better than Dog-kun I guess.....

Junichi being compared to a dog again (or for the first time) was still a bit weird. Also do dogs really like to sit on benches? See if I had a dog I would be trees or squirrels or something. Not a bench. But whatever makes their relationship work.

Photobucket

This soul has been sucked out of his body XO

For a moment I wanted to stab Haruka for turning Junichi down again. But then I realized that this was the last episode in her arc so things would have to work out. Watching Junichi flop on the ground was kinda fun though.

Photobucket

How bout .....no?

I am not sure how I feel about swimming in December. I am sure it is a heated pool and it was inside but still. This Floridian was freezing while watching that part of the episode. Also the borrowing of swimsuits made me all itchy. DO NOT WANT.

Photobucket

I probably would have slapped you but you should have done it anyway!!!!

And then we get to the hotel room scene. Given the fact that I am special I really thought there was going to be some parents and grandparents up in that suite. I am such a naive little blogger. But no, Haruka wanted some alone time with Junichi and she couldn’t be upfront about it. This part of Haruka’s thinking I understand. This is girl talk/code. We don’t want to come off too strong but sometimes we have guide the guy. Or hell, we want to be sexy and feel wanted so sometimes we take guys to hotels and get mad at them when they don’t make the first move. Because we are complicated OKAY.

Photobucket

Because it's not like he said it every single day or anything...

But what I don’t get about her line of thinking is her “I didn’t know how you felt” crap. Like….didn’t you just have knee sex? Didn’t you just have some foreplay scene in the school cafeteria? Doesn’t Junichi stalk you and confess to you all the time? So really I don’t like that stuff at all. I get that girls are insecure and especially dumb at that age…but Junichi is a boy and just as young so that means he is twice as stupid. Don’t make him feel bad about not trying enough because um…he did. He was a stalker. He did quite enough. Silly Haruka.

Aw no sex scene for the fan boys. Let me cry some tears for you.

Photobucket

I love you! No I love you more!!!!

And then it is the future ya’ll. We go from first kiss to 10 years of marriage (or being togetherness). I think I would have liked it better if it was 1 year in the future, when Haruka graduated from high school and she reassures Junichi they will be together forever. This ending is way too Disney for me, 10 years and we are still lovely dovey sick I wanna throw up. This relationship never had any real problems or issues to contend with. Things went Junichi’s way, Haruka enjoyed his dog like affections, and now she is a housewife and he is the loving husband. Just so so sweet.

In conclusion this arc was MEH. Had they brought in the stuff about the meeting at the park sooner that would have made this a lot more romantic and less stalkerish. Haruka toyed around with Junichi quite a bit but then in the end was all like BUT HOW DO YOU FEEEEEL. And there was knee sex. So yeah…a lot of drama over nothing. Perhaps the next girl (the one who actually is a childhood friend) will be more interesting. And perhaps there will be no more knee sex and dog references.

Photobucket

XO I want to be a winner!

Also I love crane machines. That is all.

Customers: Finding new and exciting ways to make me hate them daily

Today’s (probably boring) Amagami SS episode post has been interrupted to bring you the following breaking news:

Customers fucking suck!

XO Apparently beware of naughty words. I am not in the mood to censor myself or find happy funny words to explain my situations/hassles of the work place. No sometimes its best just to let it all out, say what’s on the top of your head.


Which is customers fucking suck.

It’s one thing not to tip me for one delivery. That happens all the time and wouldn’t make me want to vent to the extreme. No no, it’s quite another thing to not tip me on THREE deliveries. As in (if this makes sense) one store bought food for themselves and two other related stores and had me delivery all this food around town. Then when I went to the last store I would get paid for all three. So it was already going to be bad only getting tipped once despite the fact I went on three deliveries. But then I didn’t get tipped AT ALL! Fuck you.

So when my eyes ROLLED when you only signed the credit card slip and said THANKS while walking away I think I was justified in my annoyance. But really, fuck you for saying you were going to call my boss later to talk to him about my attitude. Good going customer, how did this conversation go? “Hi, I just ordered pizzas for three stores and I didn’t tip the delivery driver at all and she was mad at me. I am offended as a customer”. FUCK YOU.

But no asshole you LIED! You told my boss you were going to get me some money when I flipped out for no reason. And my boss believed you. Because I live in crazy bizarro land. I often have attitude with people who are going to get me money. No no crazy your story makes no sense at all. I was there, you were there. You knew you got “called out” on not tipping me with my sighing and I guess you felt guilty. So on top of not tipping me you got me in trouble with my boss. Awesome.

So after I get back to the store to get yelled at by my boss I realize I don’t have my pen. My special pen that I love and take with me on all my deliveries. And since I only went on THOSE deliveries and you were the only one to pay YOU HAVE MY PEN. Granted I did leave it there on accident YOU took it. You signed the paper and walked away with MY pen in your hand. I was in shock that someone was really not going to tip me on three deliveries to think straight. So on top of me wasting my gas, missing out on other tipping deliveries, and getting yelled at by my boss YOU STOLE MY PEN!

Being that I enjoy confrontation and that I think I am actually a much bigger and scarier person than I really am I went back to your store once I had a close by delivery. I didn’t see El Cheapo anywhere around so I waited until the dude at the counter was done with his customer. I then described my wonderful pen and he said hold on. He went and talked to El Cheapo in the lanes behind the counter and BAM he was back in 5 seconds.

“Sorry we haven’t seen your pen bye”.

HOW ABOUT YOU LOOK FOR THE FUCKING PEN ASSHOLE! I doubt your place of business has too many (insert type of pen here) PENS lying around so open the two holes in your head and LOOK! But no, it is better to completely screw me over. Your little El Cheapo boss heard “delivery driver” and was like NO! Fuck her and her pen. Next time PRETEND to look for someone’s lost (stolen) item before giving up. Fuck you and your entire company assholes.

So to recap I get screwed out of three delivery tips, I get yelled at by my boss, and I no longer have my (insert pen type here) pen. Fucking wonderful right? Add in the fact the next two deliveries didn’t tip me (one at a place where they expect tips as well) and I was on the war path today.

Fuck you today. Fuck you customers.

CLAMP in 3D land overload!

Remember a few weeks back when I posted about whether or not I should get an iPhone? Well this is not going to be about the iPhone. Well except the fact that if I was going to get one it has been put on hold because of my happy impulse buys. So yeah, an iPhone would be lovely and help me waste time at work....I mean better locate houses.

BUT FIGURINES ARE MORE FUN PEOPLE!!!!

And in my defense...I got a super deal on everything I am about to post. So really...really iPhone. You will be around once I save some money again. But these deals were not going to wait so I had to act fast. Also I don't think taking like 50 pictures of a phone would make a good post....

Instead of my usual here is a picture, here is a comment, and here is a paragraph deal I am just going to leave out the paragraph. One because I am lazy. And two there are a lot of pictures because I am insane. Also B because I think it will flow better this way. On with the swag show!

I enjoy collecting the boxes too. XO Not sure where I am going to put them though...


Photobucket

Rikuo is on your stairs judging you harshly.


Photobucket

How about we give these two a yaoi ending CLAMP? OR ANY ENDING AT ALL!!!!

Flat box is slightly flat.


Photobucket

Like newness means some assembly acquired.


Photobucket

So yeah...Fumma....won't stand up. Probably because he misses Kamui. I tried Fumma I TRIED.

Sorry Kamui. Ashura wins the tragic character award until your series is finished. Also his sword might be longer....


Photobucket

I really thought I had a Yasha for Ashura...


Photobucket

All of my lovely purchases. One of my sellers gave me a bonus Rikuo so they can be emo together. All together with shipping I spent $41 on 9 (10) figurines. GO ME!

Fumma is a little camera shy...

Fai and Kurogane are talking about how the new kids are taking over.


And...that is it. XD So many pictures killing your browser. But thanks for stopping by and seeing how crazy of a collector I can be. It was fun checking the mail each day and WOOHOO a package came. So I don't have an iPhone. But now I have 9 new figurines to make me smile. My goal is to have them on but for now I am super happy with the ones I have now.

Also a sidenote: Priority Mail Small Flat Rate boxes are SERIOUS business. Like the girl who sent me the package did a super job making sure they were save but DUDE. That glue on box was hard core. I almost needed the jaws of life to rescue my figurines!
